About the Winery

Faustino is one of the most iconic and renowned wineries in the Rioja D.O.Ca. Founded in 1861 in Oyón, Álava, and with over 160 years of history, Faustino has successfully combined tradition and avant-garde to become a global benchmark for Spanish wine. Its Gran Reserva wines—recognizable by their classic tags featuring Renaissance portraits—are exported to over 140 countries and have received some of the most prestigious awards in the industry.

The legacy of the Martínez Zabala family, owners of the winery, has been key to maintaining a firm commitment to excellence, sustainability, and respect for the vineyard. Long oak aging, the use of traditional varieties such as Tempranillo, Graciano, and Mazuelo, and a long-term vision have resulted in soulful, complex wines with extraordinary aging potential.

Gran Faustino 1955 represents the pinnacle of this philosophy: a wine that is the living history of Rioja, a time capsule that celebrates the nobility and longevity of great Spanish wine.
